I’m not exactly sure why the second assassination attempt leads Senator Josh Hawley to release a complaint about the systemic issues with the Dept of Homeland Security and U.S. Secret Service, but that appears to be the reasoning he provides.
Why does it take a second attempt to release information to the public that stems from the first attempt? Seems a little odd to me.
The Full 22-Page Report is HERE
WASHINGTON DC – After two near-assassinations in two months, the Secret Service is facing scorching criticism for its work to protect former President Donald Trump.
In July, the agency’s director resigned amid bipartisan outrage over the failure to prevent a gunman from climbing onto a roof and firing multiple shots at Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. And now, security experts are questioning how another would-be gunman was apparently able to camp undetected near Trump’s golf course for nearly 12 hours before being confronted by a Secret Service agent who opened fire.
“I think it’s a failure, 100%,” said security expert Carrie Bachner, referring to the latest incident. Bachner is the CEO of the Bachner Group and a former adviser to the Department of Homeland Security’s undersecretary for intelligence and analysis.
“Obviously, it was successful in the fact that the former president wasn’t shot, which is great, and no shots were fired from that particular individual,” she added. “However, that’s sort of looking at the glass half full, if you want to be positive about it.”
On Capitol Hill, the Secret Service is at the center of the House’s investigation into the first assassination attempt. That probe is now poised to expand to include a second.
The suspect allegedly involved in Sunday’s incident was within several hundred yards of Trump as he played golf, authorities said. Someone with a loaded gun should never have been allowed to get that close to the presidential candidate, Bachner said. (read more)
I never thought I’d be appointed to an assassination attempt task force while in Congress, let alone have a 2nd attempt only a month into the task force. We should all be deeply concerned about how yet another disturbed person got this close to President Trump with a weapon. pic.twitter.com/kNmXcga0aM

I think right now they are flooding the zone with information
to confuse. so many story lines are going on all at once and its to distract
you from the most important things
Agree-we (or, at least, I) never knew about these tactics before and now they have become so obvious
Yes, true and its difficult to stop it.
2 female CA leftist family members have booked a flight to DC for the 2nd-3rd week in January. Supposedly it’s to see an impressionist exhibit but that’s also inauguration week. They clearly believe KH will win and want to be here for the 1st woman president.
Another family member I have working on for a while… I’m now giving up on. There is no amount of reasoning, no facts, no nothing that can persuade her especially since the debate.
She says KH absolutely won the debate… she is totally in KHs corner now. Doesn’t matter that the debate was rigged. I’ve listed many things.
For her, the 2 assassination attempts on PDJT are insignificant BUT Trump saying he hated Taylor Swift is egregious. I don’t know how to deal with that level of insanity. I don’t even know if Trump really said that. I hope not. It’s so unnecessary and distracting. It makes Taylor Swift more, not less, influential. Just ignore her. She’s just a shallow, frivolous celebrity… and a leftist so shevwas always going to vote for KH anyway.
It’s not nothing that 100+/- million Americans cannot distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, just and unjust… even to the extreme of condoning a rigged presidential debate… and excusing the potus/vp in power using our fed agencies to … create BS cases to … bankrupt and imprison.. and then kill their political opponent in a presidential election.
My cousin, who I was working on, even said: “Trump is dangerous to the country… and all his supporters are dangerous to the country too.” I responded: “well the German people were successfully brainwashed to believe the same thing about their Jewish neighbors in the 1930s. We know how that turned out.” So, I’m done with her… and that’s very sad. Our country is dangerously divided.
I’m feeling depressed at the moment. The insane, literally insane, views of the left/dem voters is actually quite dangerous too, even ominous. I don’t really understand it except that they have been successfully brainwashed to believe anything even that murder is acceptable.
A friend of mine, an avid Trump supporter, said her brother refuses to vote even though he supports Trump bc he believes the election will be successfully rigged again. He’s angry that not enough has been done to correct the many election integrity problems. My friend is working on her brother but isn’t all that hopeful.
Cali and NYC are places where reasonable people are few and far between. At least you’re trying 👏🏼👏🏼
I live in California and know quite a few Trump supporters. Anecdotally, a good friend of mine does hair styling for high end clients–$500 a cut. Many are Jewish. They are secretly telling this person that they are voting for Trump. I know black people for Trump. A lot of Latinos are for Trump. We just have had a rigged system here. Everyone detests our DA George Gascon.
My mother has late stage TDS, but lives in MD so why bother arguing? I live in a red state won twice by Trump. Recognizing who you can save is the hard part. But COVID was a tell who will line up and listen to the collectivist line.
Why wait?
To seal our fate.
Furthermore, I consider that the Derp State must be destroyed!!
According to the Bee the 2nd attempt was to distract from the 1st attempt report coming out. We live in the weirdest of times
Or distract because we were having a national discussion about immigration via the cat cookout going on in Ohio.
With the vitriol that is directed towards the president, no wonder.
Confusing about how a man could get onto a golf course with a gun and backpacks. Aren’t they exclusive for the rich?
No, they aren’t, and he wasn’t on the course, he was on the outside of the fence next to a public road.
He was outside, behind a bush lined fence.
“Aren’t they exclusive(ly) for the rich?” s/off
Fixed it for ya 😉
They were ceramic shields to act as a bullet proof vest in case Crazy Man got shot at by the SS, they look like back packs.
They were zip tied to the fence to serve as protection and perhaps cover.
Right next to the GoPro camera similarly situated.
With a gap between for his rifle, the same gap the muzzle was poked through when he fled, leading some to suspect someone propped it up for a photo, but no, that was his firing position.
The elephant in the room is that this all part of a coordinated effort to murder President Trump. And, everyone knows it.
We have to assume there will be a third attempt on his life.
Continuing to pray for Divine Protection 🙏
There’s no doubt about that. It could not be more plain. And a significant part of the establishment and electorate are indifferent and maybe a lesser group actually wants it. It’s a sad state if affairs only remedied (and then only partially) by electoral victory.
I hear rumors of 3 more attempts!
Shows you what contempt they have for their own agents by putting their lives at stake.
Just a guess:
The report focuses on the SS (“center of the investigation”), not the shooter(s) and his/their connections.
Nothing is being investigated regarding ‘Crooks’ by this report and announcement.
Look here, squirrels, it’s the SS’s fault; focus on them, not the shooters! 👀
The summary will state new training for all personnel, and a recommend a big budget increase.
I will happily be the trainer for the mandated training to teach all the nitwits how to get on a roof without a ladder. $500 a head for a full day training.
And if you look over the 1st page of either Gateway Pundit or Zerohedge there were NO stories of Harris debate collusion, Haitians eating pets, or Venezuelans taking over apartments. Those stories were problematic for the regime.

Don’t forget the strongly worded letter, we want our money’s worth. /sarc
Not only wrong, completely backwards. And Liqueda’s comment doesn’t make internal sense and it is not particularly related to the story or the thread. I suspect Liqueda is AI, or A Not So Intelligent.
It’s Mayorkas and specifically the FBI
I certainly believe they were/are the field level operations directors and tactical executors of these operations, for sure.
As to where the ‘order’ or ‘authorization’ came from, I tend to lean towards Langley.
With a wink from The City.
The little cuban is a very destructive guy-he and his buddy at justice have run riot.
They have to keep pretending that any evidence gathered in congressional committee hearings matters. Political theater indeed.
Kimi: Exactly. Congress is nothing but hand waving and more spending.
How much do you want to bet that if the left had assassination attempts made like this by the right that, there would be no stone unturned, everyone in the assassins orbit would be water boarded or worse.
Sen Hawley tells us that the SS is stonewalling. Meanwhile, its current head, Ronald L. Rowe, Jr. is down in West Palm in front of a microphone primping and preening about what a great job he/his agency is doing.
The fact that the SS is stonewalling, and they failed again (because letting a nutjob get that close is a fail, not a win), he should be fired or forced to resign.
Only read pg 11 about lead agent not being qualified. Essentially DHS refused to respond. Less useful than a strongly worded letter. The IC rules the roost.
Sh!ting on US daily!
Secret Service secret is out.
SS allowed perp to do what he did for the purpose of taking Trump out.
Its not a “failure”.
Its a not so secret service set up to allow the assassination of President Trump.
The “failure” was the SS plan failed a second time in their attempt by proxy.😡
Perhaps some element thereof, on top of the willful failure to provide adequate cover, but for your theory to hold water would not that agent been required to hold his fire?
But he missed on both shots, was he truly aiming for him? And the creep almost got away- if not for a private citizen photographing his escape vehicle, & then local LE finding him.
Im willing to bet had they not done so… SS would’ve said he got away & we’ve no idea who it was. But kudos to us for stopping him!
What was he firing with? From what range? Was he taking return fire? What could he see other than the suspicious rifle barrel?
Even if the advance guy “was in on it,” even if he willfully didn’t kill the bad guy, why would he have opened fire before the deed was done?
This doesn’t add up; it seems some actual competence was accidentally on scene.
Though those facts don’t speak against setting a patsy up to be bravely defeated by the Assassin’s Secret Service, which would still putatively put pressure on PDJT and demoralize supporters, and possibly embolden more attempts.
Did he miss? What if the bullets hit the protective ceramic plates?
Or maybe he did miss but was using a sidearm and was firing into the distance?
Making an accurate shot with a pistol over 50 yards is a long shot to be accurate.
Can ANYONE tell the difference between a rifle barrel and a tree branch sticking through a fence at “over 50 yards”?
I suspect not and it brings me to the question that IF you are close enough to identify a rifle barrel, then how could a trained (supposedly) shooter miss at that reduced range?
I shoot regularly and am an average marksman but if I am close enough to identify a rifle barrel, I can surely hit the person holding it (if he was indeed holding it).
Iran
Iran is not behind this!
Indeed, I think he was suggesting which country the narrative will target as this latest feeble move by Hawley plays out as suggested by js.
The list of patsys is long and not at all distinguished. If the truth was known, there’s likely competing assassination planners. When these leftist airheads recruited by actors inside the US government can’t get the job done, the escalating process will involve PDT’s plane. The current USSS is a joke. There’s probably 100s of invaders who’d welcome the chance to launch a MANPAD at PDTs plane
Im not sure, but I would assume his aircraft is protected by chaff and countermeasures. Im going on what should be common sense.
Josh Hawley is one of Donald Trump’s best supporters.
Then why won’t he speak the truth?
Hawley is Hawley’s best supporter.
What part of every Congress member is corrupt beyond words, escapes you?
These clowns talk, and talk, and investigate, and blah, blah f’in blah!!!
Nothing ever happens, No one pays a true price.
Its all pretending, all the time. Wake up!
People keep asking where are the whistleblowers..they are everywhere but where do they go to blow the whistle? Congress is less than worthless…what do they do to protect these guys? Some go to Bongino which is better than Congress. I do not know where to tell potential whistleblower to go to blow the whistle. Does anyone here have suggsestions?
Reality is holding a press conference. The answers to any of the questions aren’t that difficult. The problem is that the answers won’t change what’s happening.
Very true, but those answers out in public may help accelerate the general public’s ‘Awakening.’
Ok. So–the reason for seeking the answers is not for fixing responsibility or punishing those responsible but just a “teaching moment”–a term I hate…
It does seem that many Treepers are assuming that if our domestic enemies get nailed to the wall and have to answer the questions, that will somehow change what happens next..
If it’s a given that it will not do that, but it is just an object lesson for the public, that should be publicly acknowledged so that the false expectations can be set aside.
If I knew how to repost it here – the visual Sundance puts up that says – you think it’s scary now—it’s gonna get worse.…that one.
Exactly Sharon!
the reason is to stop a violent overthrow of our freedom and to retain a representative government actually legally elected by the people.
biblically they have went to the sword, they may yet regret it.
I can’t say that it is a ‘given’ either way, just a possibe start.
Nothing can be fixed and no one can be held accountable until enough rise and say ‘enough.’
I liken to critical mass ie Poland or the singing Baltics.
Enough awakened and it effected regime change.
Once regime change can be achieved, then accountability is possible.
Without regime change, doubtful.
One thing is for certain. If not enough are engaged, nothing is exactly what will happen.
Very well stated.
Revelations about the corruption might not change minds. But they will clarify who is on which side.
With damning facts on the table people expose themselves as weasels or not. Many weasels have been smoked out from hiding when they had to respond to inconvenient revelations.
Similar to the saying: A crisis does not build character it reveals it.
LTC Tony Shaffer helped conduct the citizen investigation into the story of the whistleblower truck driver about massive amounts of ballots he’d hauled across state lines, along with The Amistad Project and Phill Kline.
I think a lot depends on who and what they are whistleblowing. I know that James O’Keefe has taken in a lot of whistleblowers and helped them get their stories out safely.
Many wb’s now have podcasts of their own on Rumble and elsewhere.
Tucker, Elon Musk, Lara Loomer and many others are all available on Rumble too.
Oh, for the first time ever today I saw a Rumble video listing in with the yuckboobs on a search engine. My jaw almost dropped to the floor.
Look at the videos from James Okeefe.
Corruption, and crimes, in your face.
Nothing ever happens. Its ignored by the MSM, some of those videos in a normal world, would have many people behind bars.
Its all covered up, and shoved under the table…
There is no one to do anything about it, and no one admits the truth when it comes to the truth.
Thought I heard the car was stolen. From where and when?
Stolen plates.
Whatever will he release if/when there’s a third attempt.
I don’t have a good feeling about Hawley, I think he’s Ted Cruz from Missouri.
Blumenthal was hinting it was coming out soon a few days ago. Perhaps events accelerated it a bit but I don’t find it overly suspicious. Compared to all the other suspicious stuff that happens over and over.
Good one!
One innocent man was murdered… One USSS was promoted…. ???
It’s all so “in-your-face”.
Their plan is no plan, in order to drive the law abiding into mental convulsions. Yet another case in point:

As a gardener I know what could fix that in a single season. Plant some kudzu!

There are very few people ruling the country and they are not the people we vote for.
One of the things that stuns me the most is how all these years that fence w/bushes has never been addressed, cleaned up, blocked w/a pretty stone wall or something.

The Nothing Report

2. A whistleblower said blah blah blah. I asked for information and got nothing
Executive Summary: I got nothing.

Suspicious cat on this one.
I keep reading the shooter was from Hawaii.
How did he get to Florida with guns and ammo?
One can check them.
One can also purchase locally.
Or have their handler provide them.
I saw a picture of the likely handler posted somewhere here earlier today. It was on the daily Prez thread, from an X post by Tony Seruga. I screenshot it.

Problematic.
2.A felon purchasing a gun.
Problematic.
3.A handler providing a gun.
More likely but still problematic.
How can someone with his criminal background legally own any gun?
If they don’t convict him, what’s to stop him?
The severity of the offenses he skated on long ago suggests he was put to use by the Derps.
…As if gun control restrictions have ever stopped a bad person from getting a gun.
Bingo!

On 9/11, I didn’t react that much when I heard one plane flew into one Tower. But then the second plane flew into the second Tower, it was clear that a conspiracy was afoot and all hell had broken loose.
Just like now with 2 attempted assassinations and 2 failed perimeters.
On 9/11, in all the moments between the first and second plane, the Blob media did not give even the faintest hint that anything other than some mechanical accident had occurred.
How much more info do you need to conclude it was an inside job?
Aren’t they all.
I’m good.
To them, the only “failure” was they missed. But they tried.

Geez, that Rep. Moskowitz fellow just said a whole lot of nothing for 2+ minutes. Oh, the incredulity of it ALL.
The only issue with DHS and the Secret Service, is corruption and a horrendous lack of leadership. There is no one qualified to run either agency.

Trump Would-Be Assassin Ryan Wesley Routh Has Over 100 Criminal Charges, Was Arrested for Possessing a Weapon of Mass Destruction in 2002 — Yet Only Received Probation

Lee Stranahan
@stranahan
On September 15th, 2024, Ryan Wesley Routh was arrested near the Trump International Golf Club in Florida, armed with an AK-47 SAR rifle equipped with a scope and carrying a GoPro camera. While his intent to assassinate Donald Trump was clear, the presence of the GoPro raised a deeper question: *Why would an assassin bring a camera to document the event?*
As soon as I saw that detail, I knew what might be going on. That’s because I have a deep understanding of the history of the **Banderite Ukrainian nationalist factions** and the CIA’s involvement in propaganda operations—a history I lay out in my forthcoming book on Ukraine. Let me explain.
Routh wasn’t just an ordinary assassin; he had appeared in multiple propaganda videos for the **Azov Battalion**, a well-known Banderite group linked to Ukrainian nationalist movements. The GoPro he carried wasn’t just for documentation—it was likely part of a larger propaganda effort, designed to capture and shape how the world would view the event. By filming the act, Routh’s handlers, or those behind the scenes, could ensure that the footage would paint him as a “lone nut,” cutting off speculation about a larger conspiracy or deeper political involvement.
This is a classic propaganda tactic—creating a simple narrative that the public can easily digest. This theory fits within the broader context of **CIA-backed operations**, where controlling the narrative has always been key. During the Cold War, the CIA worked with Ukrainian nationalists like **Mykola Lebed** to spread anti-Soviet propaganda through the **Prolog Research Corporation**.
The same techniques of media manipulation, using pamphlets, broadcasts, and other forms of propaganda, can be seen at play today. And this isn’t the first time we’ve seen CIA-linked and Ukrainian-linked efforts to undermine Trump—consider the first impeachment, tied to Trump’s interactions with Ukraine, and the Hunter Biden laptop story, where former CIA officials dismissed it as disinformation despite the FBI having had the laptop for months.
In this case, the GoPro suggests more than just an assassination attempt—it points to a propaganda operation designed to control how the story would be told, ensuring the narrative focuses on a lone actor rather than larger forces at play. While speculative, this explanation aligns with the historical patterns of both Ukrainian and CIA involvement in media manipulation.

“One thing I want to make clear is, the service needs more help. And I think Congress should respond to their need,” Biden told reporters Monday.
When questioned on what the Secret Service could need, the president responded, “They may decide whether they need more personnel or not.”
Joe – who’s in charge of the Secret Service?
No point knocking – there’s no one home there.
From the conclusion: Left alone, these agencies will not reform themselves. They will continue to stonewall and obfuscate. Plainly, it is now up to Congress and the President to clean house at these failing agencies at the earliest possible opportunity.
Does he know that these issues are not just with the USSS? Does he really understand how bad things really are? Heck I don’t know if these member of congress truly understand how corrupt they are. Maybe this is a dim light in the distance that may indicate some support for Trump to clean things up if we can overcome the corruption in our elections.
My response to your question in your second paragraph: ‘because they’re idiots and they think we are, as well’.I
Exactly 💯
Yet another rerun by a great pretender.
I haven’t given it much thought, but one possibility of this 2nd attempt resulting in the release is that they were going to do it “soon” or after they finished polishing it, but maybe the 2nd attempt prompted the release to bring it to the forefront that there was a prior attempt and it also had questionable issues.
Who knows though.
I do not trust Hawley, I do not trust 1 single person in both Houses of Congress. Not 1 single person.
They are all talk, no action, and all corrupt.
More sternly worded letters incoming? Exactly what has any of their so called investigations or speaking on behalf of whistleblowers accomplished?
Nothing.
All hot air, all Bs, all the time. I dont care what Hawley has to say, or anyone else. They can all sit on it and rotate.
My sense is Hawley is being deployed again for this stuff.
I can almost hear him saying, “I’m MAGA, really I am” when I see him on the airwaves.
The term “whistleblower” has become meaningless and a pejorative, even for the “good guys.”
